Which one to open is determined. When the working piston 54 is located at the top dead center during operation, the electric valve 38 opens and closes again, and a block of pressure air having a very high pressure is sucked into the working chamber. The sucked ultra-high pressure pressure air mass expands in the cylinder, pushes the piston 54 back to the bottom dead center to generate work, and drives the crankshaft 18C via the connecting rod 53 to cause the crankshaft 18 of the engine compressor to rotate.
